Notes

'Lemon Drops' daffodil (Narcissus 'Lemon Drops') is a bulb for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flower arrangements. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The lemon yellow blooms are fragrant and open in spring. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.

Pairs well with Balloon flower, Blue fescue, Carnaval De Nice tulip, and Prairie dropseed.
